외국에선 힙합 명반하면 언제나 1순위로 꼽히는 앨범으로 아는데 국적과 환경이 달라서 그런건지 감성이 안맞는건지... 가사는 대체적으로 공감 안되는 내용이 많고 음악도 기대했던 만큼 귀에 박히지 않았다. 첫 대면 후 몇번의 재도전 끝에 구석에 박아놓은지 수년이 흘렀다.

솔직히 요새 MC들이 필히,의무적으로 듣고 느껴야하는 명반 중의 명반. 국내에서 이 명반과 그나마 흡사한 느낌의 음반은 이센스의 에넥도트이다.

Friggin' glorious! The epitome of good rap. Every single track's just so dang good!
